As summer music rides off into the sunset, the new albums of fall get ready for their place in the spotlight. Over the next few months, several are slated to come out. So let's take a look at some of what September has in store for music to light up your listening devices. Nine Inch Nails Hesitation Marks Release Date: Sept. 3 The Buzz: The first time I ever heard of Nine Inch Nails was at Lollapalooza '97. That was quite the experience, which is what some love about the '90s band. Now with Trent Reznor back at the helm of the group, NIN makes a comeback this fall. Whether or not their new album is a hit will depend highly on the loyalty of their fan base and if there are enough adult Goths around to lend their support. Keith Urban Fuse Release Date: Sept. 10 The Buzz: This Aussie is known for two things: Being married to Nicole Kidman and having a soothing, country sound when it comes to his music. But with his new album Fuse, Urban mixes things up a bit. Enlisting the help of producers Butch Walker (works with Pink) and Nathan Chapman (works with Taylor Swift), he leans towards a more pop-country sound adding electronic strokes. Urban has always done by fans and his new music venture should prove fruitful. Drake Nothing Was the Same Release Date: Sept. 17 The Buzz: Drake has been a big sensation ever since he released his first album. Success has followed with his second album. With his third album, Nothing Was the Same, about to be released, one would figure the man would be all a buzz about it. But Drake has been quite the opposite, keeping a tight lip. He has said, though, that there are samplings from both Whitney Houston and Curtis Mayfield on the record. I guess everyone interested in this album will just have to wait to find out what it's all about, but I'm sure it will be a hit. Kings of Leon Mechanical Bull Release Date: Sept. 24 The Buzz: Kings of Leon has always been a rock band that is true to its sound and knows how to rock out. Mechanical Bull marks the bands sixth album, providing the opportunity for everyone to get their rock on this fall. If you have never heard of the group, here's your chance to check out this band of siblings and cousins. It carries a unique rock sound that I'm sure you can shake your head to. Justin Timberlake 20/20 Experience – 2of2 Release Date: Sept. 30 The Buzz: Though his acting has been his focus for the past 5 years, Timberlake has never stopped loving music. With the release of his third album, The 20/20 Experience, he has made this year his comeback. Now he drops part 2 of what he started in the spring, providing outtakes from part 1, new material from recent recordings and a retro lead single. Timberlake has also promised a "special surprise" that has the rumor mill saying a possible NSYNC reunion track that will have fans clamoring. More than likely, this album will be one of the biggest albums for the end of the year and, overall, fans should be pleased.
